What I Painted In December 2010

Dale, love the Vivandiere.

There were many discussions on the Flintloque group about having one sculpted up as an elf, I may well have to...

[Silent Invader]

Thanks chaps.

@Col.T
Regarding the trays, the short answer is that they are scratchbuilds, some entirely and others assembled from parts I had LAFer JimBibbly of Oshiro Terrain make for me.  They are designed to accomodate 28mm minis on 1p coins for bases.  The long answer, including a step by step of my experimentation, can be found here:

@DH
Thanks, everything is scratchbuilt for 28mm minis.  There's more about the farm and house, including the snake rail fencing, on this LAF thread here:

I don't really know much about the Flintloque rules, themselves, but I would like to hear some ideas about how what sort of rules they were considering for her. A sort of "Combat Medic" leaps to mind, and of course having a hidden dagger, in case someone gets a little to cheeky, but that's about it. Maybe "Steady Under Fire" too. A lot of them were brave lasses.

I hope it's ok for a newbie to post here too, but as I have been pretty busy this month, I thought I'd share what I've done.

I ordered some Great War Minis and I thought that they were a joy to paint up, definitely planning to get more in the future.

Germans:


Stormtroops:


French:

Some WW2 Bolt Action French that I have painted up as WW1 Infantry:



And as a change of pace, some Perry dismounted French dragoons.



Be gentle in your criticism, chaps. It is the festive season after all.

A good game to me is a game with character, not carefully written rules. I like loose rules which you can twist as a GM.

Flintloque is a nice little rules system, it is no Command and Colours (which I believe destroys any attempt at Romantic Fiction), but more character driven.

A lot of the time, the model is sculpted and then the rules are made. I am sure though, the idea would have been that she was a morale booster but also some kind of basic field medic.

No reason to be gentle at all; they look quite good. I especially like the dragoons. You should think about getting a better camera; you could show off the figures better. The one you have is grainy.

Good job!

I really like these guys. I take it that you use the same basic, cartoon figure and convert it to different characters using Green Stuff can paint conversions?

Looks great!

Well, the latest ones are conversions, but there's a load more unconverted figures (though a lot of them are rather rare and near impossible to find now).
You can see all the ones I did so far here: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=7668.0

Not sure what you mean with the question at the end. Whether it's ok to paint over greenstuff? Never had any problems with it and I do it all the time.

[Calimero]

@ white knight, nice to see that you’re still working on those Lucky Luke figures

@ Dale Hurtt, lovely work on the vivandière

[SBRPearce]

Hasslefree's Kendra, with her hair and chin resculpted  & renamed Josie.



The hair and the determined chin are modelled after my lovely bride. The hand-cannon is also characteristic.

48 Minis for me this Month:

Postapoc Stuff

[Pentaro]

Great stuff. I always liked those VOR armored guys, but I thought they were bigger.

My final december batch, went to varnishing when everyone was out of the way watching fireworkds yesterday evening.  Seems there was some kind of party going on, no idea what though
